CENTER LANE — SUPPORT
Support
Last updated July 21, 2026
What Center Lane is. A reader for a single declassified United States Government document — the 1983 CIA/INSCOM Analysis and Assessment of Gateway Process — presented as a primary source, with its provenance shown honestly. The app takes no position on whether the report's claims are true.

Requirements
Center Lane runs on iPhone with iOS 17 or later. It works fully offline and needs no account — the document ships inside the app.
Frequently asked
Is this the real CIA document?
Yes. It is document CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5 from the CIA FOIA Electronic Reading Room (STARGATE collection), dated 9 June 1983, declassified in 2003. It is a work of the United States Government and is in the public domain under 17 U.S.C. § 105.
What happened to page 25?
The page is missing from the CIA's released copy — the version the agency published skips from page 24 to page 26. Center Lane shows that gap as a provenance card rather than hiding it or filling it in. Any circulating "page 25" text that did not come from the CIA release is clearly labeled as unverified and is never presented as if it were part of the official document.
Does the app claim any of this is true?
No. Center Lane reproduces and orients you within a historical report. Statements in the document are the report author's, attributed to the report — not asserted by the app. Nothing here is medical, therapeutic, or paranormal advice.
Why is the transcription being corrected?
The text is machine OCR of the FOIA scans and is being proofread against the images. Where transcription and scan disagree, the scan is authoritative — you can switch to scan view for any page.
